NuMarvel wrote: » An opinion poll in today's Daily Mail says 53% of all respondents are in favour of repeal and allowing unrestricted access to abortion in the first 12 weeks. 26% are opposed, and 20% don't know or won't say. Excluding don't knows/won't say, that puts support for access up to 12 weeks (or abortion on demand as some call it) at 66%. That makes it the second poll in the last two months to show the majority of people support what is likely to be the Government's proposal. It's an encouraging result, but should still be treated with caution. In the 6 months before the marriage equality referendum put support at over 80% (excluding don't knows), whereas the result on the day was 62%. As the article notes, one of the dangers is that some of those in favour of repeal won't turn up to vote, which won't be an issue for the anti-repeal side. Full article here.

Sin City wrote: » Not really as the likelihood of being asked to identify themselves reporting someone is valid I mean reporting fraud to revenue or even serious crime to the gardai can all be done anonymously The having to declare yourself when reporting to the authorities is a red herring designed just to be awkward
frag420 wrote: » Welcome back EOTR... Again in case you missed it could you please be so kind as to answer the following question, it’s the fourth time I will have asked this if you!? If you don’t we can’t rest assured that you are happy for abortions to happen and are complicit in them as you would not be willing to stop them happening! So EOTR, If there was a number you could call where you could grass up women( your sister, mother, cousin, aunt. colleague, neighbour etc) who you knew or suspected were going abroad to have a termination or you knew or suspected they were procuring abortion pills online to bring about a termination...Would you use it to grass up these women to save the potential babies? Also please note that when you do call you will have to give your name and PPS number so you will be identifiable but hey, that should not matter if you’re saving potential life eh!? So what say you?
tigger123 wrote: » That's not the question being asked. If I understand it correctly, the question being asked is whether EOTR would report to the authorities (anonymously or not) if a family member had imported the morning after pill. It's a valid question, as a lot of Irish people seem to be happy with Irish women having to travel to the UK for abortions and for them to be prohibited here. Quite literally 'not in my back yard'.
frag420 wrote: » Seeing as you have been online since and have refused or are too chicken to answer the question put to you then I believe we can all safely assume that you are indeed not pro life and you are pro abortion and/or pro choice! This is the same as any and every other pro life person I have put this question to, happy to shout and scream but don’t have the Bala to stand by their beliefs! From now on I and I think others should refer to you as EOTR - he that supports the killing of potential babies in Ireland ( emotional language fully intentional) Thanks for clearing things up for us EOTR!!

Sin City wrote: » Even asking the question isnt going to prove anything as no matter what you say unless your in that situation you wont know what youll do Case in point I have a friend who doesnt believe in abortion would argue against it at every oppurtuniy He changed hes mind as soon as he knocked this woman up He was booking flights to the UK as soon as he knew it and was convincing her shes not gonna have hes child

frag420 wrote: » So it took several tones being asked before he answers and only after someone else stepped in to question my motives thus handing EOTR an excuse not to answer like he does in so many of his replies! The point of the question is whether the life of the unborn in worth people knowing that you are anti choice in the real world!? It’s ok being behind a phone or computer stating your objection but would you be brave enough to report someone for procuring an abortion if your local community knew it was you that reports that person! I would bet all I have that you would not have the balls to do it and thus your position on saving the lives of babies is self serving and complete nonsense! Surely the community deserves to know who the local hero is that is saving all these potential lives?

frag420 wrote: » Not really as paying your tv licence is not saving a potential human lives, it’s just feeding tubridy and co! If EOTR shops them he can still be happy in the fact he saved a potential life, of a bit of robbing from the local community not worth it or is he willing to let a potential life be aborted so he doesn’t get embarrassed down the local post office when picking up his pension? As for the dishonesty part, true if he was pro choice but he ain’t so I do t see how it would be dishonest? See where I am going here?
